Will THIS motherBOARD WORK with MY system?

Fusi0n · May 27, 2014

BIOSTAR Hi-Fi H61S3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard is the motherboard I am trying to install into my prebuilt hp pavillion p7-1187c.
Will it work with gtx 750 and other graphic card upgrades in the future?
I used to have a stuck blue splash screen when I installed it into my motherboard.
My power supply is a evga 500b psu with 40 amps @ 12v rail

Yes, it should work fine. But if you are trying to use the same Win7 installation that was set up with your old MB, that is the reason for the crash. You need to re-install the OS when you change MBs.

When you do, there's a 50-50 chance that when yo go to activate Win7, it will catch the fact that you are trying to use a OEM license with a new computer (new MB). You will have to 'jump thru a few hoops' at that point.

How can I install a new license? Do I need to buy another one?

You would need to buy a new copy of Win7. However...
...do you have a Win7 installation disk for your PC? And do you have a Microsoft Win7 CoA product number on a sticker somewhere on the PC?

I think. It's a bar code with a serial code and says Hewlett Packard..

Fusi0n :

It should look something similar to one of these: http://img2.everychina.com/img/1a/8c/c9ec29dd2d9230e11089badab74d-600x400c1-a95e/windows_home_premium_64_bit_label_windows_product_key_sticker.jpg
The five 5 digit numbers are the product key you will need to type into the activation screen when it comes time to make it legal. You will have 30 days to do this after a new install. If you don't, you will loose some functionality of the OS and also not get updates.

I found it but where is the product key on that picture? the g82-
or the 00196-
or the long product key?

Fusi0n · May 28, 2014

Can i just use the product number or do I use it with the cd?

If you don't see the "Product key: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" on the sticker, it is not the Certificate of Authority (CoA)
(x's will be your distinct numbers)
